Rollerdrome is an action game, in which we ride through arenas on roller skates and fight enemies with a variety of firearms. Killing enemies regenerates health and performing tricks replenishes ammunition.
Rollerdrome is an unusual TPP shooter in which we fight while rollerblading. The game was developed by Roll7 studio, the authors of Not a Hero and OlliOlli series.
Plot
The game takes us to the near future - to the year 2030. In the reality created by the authors triumphs a new brutal sport created by the Mattherhorn corporation (the title Rolllerdrome), in which the skaters must survive in the arenas full of traps and enemies.
The player assumes the role of one of the athletes participating in the great tournament. Her goal is to survive and discover the real reasons why the Matterhorn organized these competitions.
Game mechanics
Rollerdrome is an action game in which we observe the events from a third person perspective. Our heroine moves on roller skates, which allows her to quickly move around the map. She can also perform various stunts, which help in navigation and combat.
The arenas are filled with enemies, both human and mechanical. Players gain access to a rich arsenal of weapons. Killing enemies regenerates our character's health, and performing tricks replenishes ammunition.
Game modes
Game offers only single player mode. However, we can compete with other people for points within online rankings.
Players can additionally unlock a bonus solo mode called "Bloodlust", which is the biggest test of skill and agility.
Technical aspects
A strong side of Rollerdrome is the graphics. The game is made in a retrofuturistic style, inspired by science fiction movies from the 70s and 80s of the last century. The graphics are 3D, but it is made in a strongly cartoonish style.

Game Revolution: 7 / 10 by Jason Faulkner
Unfortunately, the package ends up feeling a bit bare. The story is window dressing, and the gameplay is lacking in variety. The lack of multiplayer also feels like a missed opportunity. Without it, there’s not much replayability other than an online leaderboard.
IGN: 9 / 10 by Jonathon Dornbush
Rollerdrome's unexpected blend of skating and shooting is a joy to master, backed by an arresting art design, thumping soundtrack, and a surprisingly layered story.
Hardcore Gamer: 4 / 5 by Sam Spyrison
